Titan Termination #2
Monster Hunting 201
I’m not alone anymore.
Since that day I injured a Kinru and absorbed the Bloodpoints that turned me into a Venator, I had been doing every darn thing on my own. From tracking monsters to setting traps or even having to figure this whole craziness out, I could count on no one but myself.
Luckily, things have changed. With the creation of the first Lodge in centuries, I now have recruits to follow in my footsteps, recruits who will—once blessed by the power of Bloodpoints—each have their own special class and abilities, depending on their personality and natural talents. Yes, I finally have people to watch my back.
Still, that doesn’t mean that I can slack off in the least, oh no! The Zinoss Jungle is still far from a safe place. There are myriad other monsters roaming the surface…and Mulrand, the worst of them all, the terrifying Titan who’s reigning over this particular region.
If we want to have a chance to defeat him and bring the villagers to the surface, we need to grow our ranks and power. Thankfully, as I push further into the jungle than I’ve ever been before, I stumble upon a few new villages that might give us that edge that we lacked: new technology, miners, metal, engineers, as well as a few more recruits…
But if I’m not alone in this anymore, I might not feel entirely like myself these days. The more I hunt down those monsters, the more I can feel the malicious effects of the Hunter’s Stare, that condition known to drive a Venator slowly insane until he turns into a Dread Beast. I will need to find answers to that sentence, especially now that I have other fellow hunters who could fall victim to it.

Alert
First, my review: “This was a fun book. I am glad that I read it. You should try it too.”
Over the past year it has become apparent that my reviews are somewhat antagonistic and I apologize to those of you that have taken offense. I think I had hoped to change peoples’ minds about reviewing works of art and that seems to have backfired spectacularly. However, I am still going to be true to myself and write what I believe.
To the author: Thank you for this chance to escape reality and enjoy the world you created! Keep up the good work.
To my fellow reviewers: Messaging me and reviewing my reviews is as productive as trying to shovel water out of the ocean. Stop. I get it. Let’s just all live peacefully.
To potential readers: Art needs to be experienced at an individual level. You are the only one that can determine what you like and don’t like. Don’t let others make that decision for you. You should definitely read the book and completely ignore all of the reviews. You are a much better judge of what you will like than anyone here.
Cheers

Venators battle monsters alone to grow stronger and to protect the people
Avery has decided it is time for a change as obviously solo monster hunting was always how it was done because blood points cannot be shared. However, to defeat the titan she will need help, and if she truly wants to being humans back to the surface, she will need help as she cannot be everywhere’s nor defeat everything.
Training new hunters before their blooding in hopes of increasing their survival chances.
The dream of a future on the surface depends upon Rashar’s training, the knowledge he shared and she gained from Venator’s journals from the past, and her personal drive and could still cost life

Just as good if not better than the first.
Avery embarks on the task of eliminating the final threat to Zinos and finally returning to the surface. This book is full of struggle, complications, and permanent scars. I really enjoy how Karevik addresses the stress of battle, it’s not something I’ve often seen in LitRPG books and it strikes true to my heart, as someone in the military.
The ending to this is great, Avery has come so far but not without losses of her own. Excited to see more giants slayed and maybe some settlement building in the next book.

More like 2,5 for me. I'm already getting bored by the story. While I don't mind statsheets and abilities, I find that 3-4 pages of new abilities with explanation is getting a bit much. Especially since this shows multiple times in the book and breaking me away from the story. I think I'll drop the series from now on.

Book two
Mistakes: I didn’t find anything wrong in this book, except for the cliffhanger.
Plot: It’s time to train up more heroes and to take on a titan.
Characters: I really liked the four different heroes.
8/10

Interesting continuation to the series. I didn't expect it to end where it did, but I suspect the next book will be all about planning for taking on more of the aboveground creatures to make the world more habbitable.
That should be interesting, and I want to see where the story goes after this.

Entertaining Story
This story of girl who becomes a player where all the players have been gone for centuries and people live underground was fantastic. It is over stated and the Mc makes dumb choices that seems to work out.

Wow
Just wow. A problem I’ve noticed with many lesser known litrpg books is that they’re too formulaic, and don’t contain deep struggle and complexity. This book had all that and more.

As she went from clueless survivor to clueless leader, a lot of the minor annoyances from the first book just became more pronounced. Mostly, I dislike the ‘every man for themselves’ attitude which comes from the inability to share exp/‘blood points’ even though the MC gets random free blood points whenever it is convenient for the author. Like she gets credit for being near a monster being killed by another monster, but she can’t help anyone else kill anything or they get nothing. It all just rubs me the wrong way.

The killing of a titan
They finally get around to taking on the titan in a final huge battle, unfortunately one of her close friends dies after the battle but they honor her by naming the land after her. After everything is wrapped up they start building a town on the surface

These books strike a good balance between being hopeful and dark as hell. The DC movies could learn something here.

Decent read
Decent read. A solid books/series with a very appropriately named title. I don't have anything bad to say but also nothing super glowing.

Really cool concept, nice execution.
Some of the particulars don't make sense and can be contradicting to other areas, which are jarring when they happen, but still an entertaining story so far.

Amazing, I wish the 3rd book was available for audio though.
